Wow! It is perfect for us.

| Outdoor table with Casala chairs |
It is the first brand new furniture purchase we have made since 2004 (we bought two king-size single beds for the children). We usually buy vintage/second-hand furniture, because often it is better made and of course cheaper.
We had been looking for something simple and durable for our covered deck - the stainless steel frame look with the thick kwila top was a favourite. The table also needed to be a good length and width for the space - the new table is 2.2 metres long X 1 metre wide.
This setting was made locally in Brisbane which is another plus. Apparently most furniture like this is made in China. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it is good to support local business, especially when the price difference with an imported product is negligible.
The bench seats are fantastic for the kids and when we have a large crowd. Two Casala chairs are for the ends while the other Casala chairs are spare - they give us more flexibility.
Today, we gave the setting a workout for a Father's Day barbecue. It's rock solid and gets the thumbs up.
We are now using our large deck to its full potential. And those three sad deck chairs can be retired.
Love the juxtaposition of old chairs and new bench & table! Looks fabulous and very friendly.

I am looking for something just like it. Gorgeous. And fabulous that it is made locally....to me there is something wrong with buying from China or any other country, if you can buy locally and it doesn't take a cargo ship to get it there.
ReplyDeleteThey work really well together. Great find.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. What we wouldn't give for a lovely deck like that!
ReplyDeleteSo stylish, so worth all the effort. Nice work. A x
ReplyDeleteTotally shmick! The perfect setting. You are all style my girl. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteThat just looks fantastic. So much better and interesting than the uncomfortable bench seats which go with that kind of table.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure the wood is sealed? Otherwise will fade quite dramatically. You may not mind that, but good to check anyway.xox
